Headway UK’s Chief Executive, Peter McCabe has extended the brain injury charity’s support to the family of Michael Schumacher who has recently been involved in a skiing accident.

The accident has meant that the Formula one veteran has been in a coma with his family by his bedside. Mr. McCabe said that the charity knows how difficult it is for the family of people who are in a coma and appreciates the uncertain future he may face. He said: “The thoughts of everyone associated with the charity are with Michael and his family at this difficult time.”

‘Severe Brain Trauma’

Michael Schumacher is currently in a French hospital after his skiing accident caused him severe brain trauma. Mr. McCabe added that the tragic accident has emphasised the need for ‘immediate medical attention’ he also said that his advice to anyone skiing or snowboarding would be to always wear a helmet. He added: “ Our advice to anyone planning on going skiing or snowboarding this season is to make sure you wear a helmet and always seek medical attention if you fall and hit your head.”

Making A Brain Injury Claim

If you have suffered any kind of head injury then it is important to seek medical attention as soon as you can. Even if it appears you have a minor injury, getting medical advice as soon as possible could be imperative to your recovery.

The effects of a brain injury vary greatly; in serious cases, you will have been admitted to hospital and may need 24-hour care. You may have had to pay for rehabilitation costs and it is likely you have been unable to work as a result.
